DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe revoked probation for a shooting defendant after he was arrested in a new case in a hearing on April 22.
Sean Sharps, 23, was originally charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business. These charges stem from his involvement in a shooting that took place on the 2500 block of Marion Barry Avenue, SE on Oct. 19, 2024. The victim sustained pistol whip injuries to the head and witnesses reported the sound of gunshots.
Sharps accepted a deal on June 10, 2025 in which he pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon for his involvement in the incident. On Aug. 29, 2025, Sharps was sentenced to a three year suspended sentence in favor of one year’s probation.
During the hearing, Sharps accepted a plea deal for an unrelated case in which he was charged with assault with significant bodily injury. Judge Pipe stated that Sharps was on probation for the shooting incident when he was charged with the new case. She said she will take that into consideration when sentencing. She revoked Sharps’ probation for the shooting case and scheduled a sentencing date.
Parties are slated to reconvene on June 26.
